AC is headed down the wrong path
Clunckdriver-
Spot on comment. AC is my airline of choice (and there is choice in Canada)...good service, good schedule (usually). The only problem is if YYZ wx's out.
WS still with the stupid preflight announcements. Moreso, as they grow they're starting to run into many of the problems a legacy encounters, usually due to miscommunication. BTW, any early returns on the YYT-DUB transat service ?
The high density 777s, to my knowledge, are only intended for 6-8 hour segments that are high volume, low yield (i.e., YUL-CDG) so they can compete with Transat and Corsair, for example. As well, there are only 5 in the picture (currently) and no plans (currently) to convert already delivered 777s. That may of course change over time. Many operators around the world are going to 10-abreast Y.
Humourous aside, internally at AC the new 777s are often being referred to as 'slaveships'.
